Surace is going to be a legit QB for us for years.

I agree with Lotus and use HS commits like Sit and Wimsatt along with LSU transfer Rettig as examples of the QBs we expected to be good ones, from the hype surrounding them , that just didn't make the grade
Playing for a different OC every season will destroy the ability to understand the offensive philosophy since it changes every year

I think that disappointing match you’re referring to was when we needed one win with Poz and Bulsak due up and both lost to lesser appointments. Was infuriating.

Also deluca didn’t pin Hayes. He was down by like 7 or something with a minute left and hit two lateral drops to pull off the last second upset. Was our only win on the day I believe.
I went back and looked. We lost 29-11. Suriano won by TF and Lewis won by D.

Official How Much Will We Improve Prediction Thread (Off and Def)

Thanks for posting this. Trying to understand how you predict outcomes based on these numbers.

For example versus Alabama, Adjusted O/D we were 126/100 while Alabama was 124/111, both in 79 possessions. Yet we lost by 5 points. Is it the “Adjusted” part that accounts for the difference?
Yes. Alabama played a bad team and we played a good team.

GAME 16 PURDUE: I don't care anymore

It’s gutted and it happened over the last 3 years. Next years team has JMIKE as Pikes lone guy. A non D1 player as the only guy.

When you watch next years lineup only 1 player will have been recruited by Pike and has been here 3 years. The rest will be transfers and freshman.

No upperclassmen teaching the culture and program. All hired guns and freshman! It’s the actual definition of gutted.
Man has there ever been such a rapid 180 of a program before? We flew too close to the sun

Brad Wachtel: “Might be time to pull the plug”

Numbers don’t show Geo regressing, though he did flatten out.

You can never really know if a player reached their potential but Geo definitely overachieved relative to what we was ranked as a recruit.
ok, I'll give you that. Better term except he finished pretty much where he started and was extremely consistent year to year. But that was in response to a comment about player development.

Halftime Dance Team

It’s so bad. The gameday experience for basketball blows compared to 3 4 years ago and that tv thing is the worst!
Was watching a bb game yesterday (Illinois I think) and during a break in the game, they had a fan hit a tennis ball with a golf putter the length of the court and try to get the ball thru a 6 inch opening in a wooden cutout of a tractor. If the ball goes thru, he wins a real tractor. Thought that was pretty cool. Not sure many NJ fans would want a tractor but maybe a different prize would be more appropriate.

Has this season made you lose your enthusiam for college basketball?

I don’t follow college basketball closely unless we’re good.
I can’t consume enough of The BiG Show when we are good, or watch enough BIG games when their outcomes are relevant to our place in the standings.

A basic Illinois vs Michigan St match up should be a game of interest, it’s an afterthought for me when I have no rooting interest.

As we get closer to the B1G tournament, if we turn this around somewhat and have a viable chance to participate, I’ll watch the teams we are competing against for last spot.

I can’t remember the last time I watched BIG show, I get sick listening to them report on us.

Here's your #1 NBA 2025 draft pick

Don't be ridiculous. Of course he does. Ace is one dimensional, although much of this might be Pike's fault. He doesn't defend, doesn't rebound, hasn't shot well from the foul line, and might be averaging less than two assists per game. Quite honestly, he doesn't appear to have a high basketball IQ either. I heard a basketball commentator say that he saw Flagg score 6 points in a game prior to going to Duke and he was still the best player on the floor.
"Doesn't rebound" "doesn't defend" sometimes I wonder lol ..are people forming their own opinions or do they just go with whatever the narrative is? Best rebounder on the team, not saying much but he and Flagg avg the same amount of rebounds. Also where are you guys getting this from that he doesn't defend? Based on what? Leads the team in blocks..

Right now we are ranked 106th by bart in adjusted offensive efficiency and 111th in defensive efficiency.

WHAT WILL THOSE NUMBERS BE AT THE END OF THE YEAR?

Brief education....those numbers just look at points scored and points given up divided by amount of possessions and then adjusted for strength of opponent. Below is our adjusted numbers each game...move the decimal point over two spots to your left to get adjusted points per possession
